<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>I was able to put the iso images on a
disk. with RH9, you can boot linux from fd0. Linux install asks
where the iso images are. you tell them the directory. I put them in
a DOS directory. I am pretty sure this wlould also work with a Linux
directory. You can also install from another computer; but aparently my
NIC card is not one of the standard NIC cards. I used rawrite (DOS
utility) but you should also be able to do Linux DD. Rawrite is on Disk1,
in DOSUTILS. The fd0 boot images are on Disk1, directory:
images.</FONT></DIV>

Images</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am currently running Windows XP / Mandrake 9.1
on a Dell Inspiron 5100. I was planning on upgrading to Mandrake
9.2 (mainly for ACPI) and decided to give Fedora a try. Well that's
the preample. But, here is the catch. I didn't pay for the external floppy
drive, or a CD writer. So, I've downloaded the ISO images, I have verified the
MD5SUM, I can even mount the images and view the files inside. But as far as I
can tell, without writing the images to a CD, it appears that I can't do
anything usefull with them. It seems like it should be possible to mount the
images during the install process, instead of the CD-ROM. Has anyone ever
tried that? </FONT></DIV>
